United Way of Greater Lorain County

We are a catalyst for measurable community transformation, leading to a better life for all through collective impact in education, financial stability and health.

We do this by organizing and supporting Community Collaboratives that bring people together to make great things happen.

We’ve heard from our community that managing problems with quick fixes is not enough, we need to focus our efforts towards achieving long-term, sustainable results that get to the root causes of problems, eventually eliminating the need altogether. By building pathways for working families from poverty to financial stability we can improve the quality of life for all.

That's why we aspire to have a community where everybody has an opportunity for a good life: a quality education that provides skills, enough income to support a family, the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle and emergency assistance to meet basic needs in a time of crisis.

Together, we can focus our efforts to provide the greatest change in our community. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. Because great things happen when we LIVE UNITED.
